Realme 3 Pro vs Redmi Note 7 Pro: Strategic Analysis

Here we have picked up the important points to find out the major differences between Realme 3 Pro and Redmi Note 7 Pro.

Plastic Body vs Glass Body

Starting with the body and built, the new Realme smartphone has a polycarbonate body. The company claims it to be a high-quality plastic body, but plastic is plastic. That doesn’t change the ergonomics.

On the downside, yes glass is less durable than plastic. So, Realme 3 Pro will have an edge here with a plastic body. But on the other hand, glass feels far more premium.

Another thing, both are fingerprint magnets. So, you will either need a cover or a cloth to wipe off smudges all the time. Realme 3 Pro is splash and dust proof.

The Notched Display

Yes, both the smartphones come with notches. So there’s nothing much to compare. Realme 3 Pro comes with a 6.3-inch Full HD+ screen with a notch on top. It has a 2340 x 1080 pixel screen resolution offering similar display quality.

None of them come with AMOLED displays, so the screen quality is similar.

Also, both Realme 3 Pro and Redmi Note 7 Pro come with Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top. Both would survive the slight-edge short falls.

Snapdragon 675 vs Snapdragon 710: Who Offers Better Performance?
